So that makes it a latte? Or an extra wet cappuccino?

I hate when people order extra wet cappuccino, I wanna burst their bubble and tell them it's a latte so bad

This happened to me a while back and the older couple not only didnt mention no foam but they ordered a cappuccino and became irate with the result, as well as her being upset the caramel latte doesnt come with drizzle. They both left without the drinks.

Baaaaaaawwwwhahahahahhahaha I love this.

It reminds me of the most obnoxious daily order I get from a regular. I have it memorized:

Vt Latte
Single
7 pumps vanilla
Extra hot
No foam
Ex whip
Ex Carmel drizzle.

I stopped thinking about all of my speciality coffee background and “a better tasting coffee” the moment starbucks hired me 😅

"So you want a no foam latte? Or just a doppio?" Ok, probably really cant say that, but I think it, every time.

NGL, I really do feel stupid every time I try to figure out what I want.

For the most part I try to take the advice I get here, what the workers tell me in store, and what the app let's me do and then just try to find a happy medium that won't end up with the folks making it hate me.
